Court systems were formed to achieve the proper regulation of claims and the fair conduct of cases. The courts are designed to protect the civil, socio-economic, and political rights of the individual and citizen as guaranteed by the Constitution. The currently recognized and working court systems are the two- and three-tier systems, which greatly simplify citizens’ access to the court. However, the three-tier system is the most relevant because it improves the quality of justice administration and promotes the independence of judicial appeal.
In the three-tier court system, there are the trial courts, the first appellate courts, and the U.S. Supreme Court. This system is subordinate to the federal courts, which have limited jurisdiction. This system has streamlined the cases that go to court: for example, only civil lawsuits can be decided in trial courts, and often they are resolved without going to the next level (U.S. Attorneys). The three tiers ensure convenient functioning and promote a good turnover of judges. Although some positions are for life, stability is nevertheless a guarantee of the quality of the administration of justice. Unlike the two-tiered system, the three-tiered system can operate orderly and more balanced through its ramification. While having only appeals and appeals simplifies the understanding of the judicial system, it does not allow for independent decision-making. The involvement of the intermediate stage eases the federal burden and can distribute lawsuits according to their severity and merits.
Thus, the three-tier court system consists of a regional court, an appellate court, and a supreme court. Each court decides a limited range of cases and rotates its judges, facilitating decentralized decision-making. This system benefits from the two-tiered system because it streamlines the list of issues before the court. It also provides a convenient, streamlined design in which independent appeals are taken. For citizens, the three-tier system is also more advantageous because it simplifies the process of filing and adjudicating claims.
